Coming Soon At This Blog: The Story of 'Freelance'

"The selling out of one category of claim for another is not improbable here."

Unregistered claims did not receive “adequate representation."

-- from last August’s ruling by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals (http://muchnick.net/2ndcircuitruling.pdf)

As Charles Chalmers, attorney for the objectors, put it last summer: “We look forward to a revised resolution that ensures protection for the 99 percent of the freelance articles involved in this action.”

Coming soon at Freelance Rights: the story of the case you don't know, and why the appellate judges said what they said.

We will also tell where things stand today, where they are headed, and what you can be doing to affect the outcome.
